At JVSG, we believe in empowering users with the best of both worlds: seamless collaboration and full data ownership. Our IP Video System Design Tool embodies this philosophy with its robust local-first, offline first approach, designed to enhance both productivity and security.
Why Local-First Matters
Traditional cloud-based software offers convenience but often at the cost of data ownership and security. By storing your data on remote servers, these applications can limit your control and make you dependent on continuous internet access. At JVSG, we’ve adopted a local-first approach that prioritizes your control and security, ensuring that you always have access to your work, even without an internet connection.
Key Benefits of Our Local-First Approach
- Operate Without Internet
Our software is designed to function entirely offline. You can design, edit, and manage your CCTV projects without needing an internet connection. This ensures that your work is always accessible, regardless of network availability.
- Complete Control Over Data
You have the option to disable cloud features entirely if you prefer to keep your data on your local system only.
- Flexible Licensing Options
Annual License: Even after your annual license expires, you won’t lose access to your projects. The software will continue to open in a read-only mode, allowing you to review and archive your work.
Perpetual License: With a perpetual license, your access to the software is not dependent on our company’s status. Even if a software vendor disappears, your data and apps stays with you, fully under your control. - Longevity and Security
Our local-first design ensures that your data is stored on your own devices, minimizing the risk of data breaches and unauthorized access. The longevity of your data is guaranteed since you retain complete control over your files and can preserve them for years to come.
- No Spinners, No Delay
Experience a responsive, uninterrupted workflow without waiting for loading or syncing times.
Seamless Collaboration
While we prioritize local storage, our software also offers the option for cloud backups to facilitate project transfers and collaborations.
If you choose to use cloud features, simply check the box for cloud backups and click the cloud button 
to upload your project. You can then share the project with colleagues via the cloud. To download a colleague’s project or a project from the cloud, click on the cloud button 
. You will be able to choose from your colleagues’ projects and download it. Make sure you and your colleague have the same cloud selected and the same license key (for group licenses) to ensure smooth access.
You can share your project files between your computers using the same method.
Conclusion
The IP Video System Design Tool is more than just a piece of software; it’s a commitment to giving you control over your data and work environment. Embrace a local-first approach and enjoy the benefits of seamless offline operation, full data ownership, and robust security.
